Single and Double Pion Photoproduction off the Deuteron

Abstract

There is evidence that the photoproduction of single and double pions off bound nucleons inside a nucleus are not only affected by Fermi motion but also by other nuclear effects, such as final state interactions or meson rescattering. We will present preliminary results of a high statistics measurement of single and double pion photoproduction of quasi-free protons and neutrons off the deuteron carried out at the Mainzer Microtron.
